My mates father inlaw is a building contractor and has built 4 new houses. One of which my mate has moved into two years ago. My mate was having bother with his RCD tripping so he asked me to have a look at it. To cut a long story short i found lots of faults in the house. Like the upstairs and downstairs rings mixed up and wired into the wrong mcb so i had to switch off 2 mcbs to isolate either circuit. The upstairs ring was broken and after much investigation it turned out to be a socket in behind the plaster board had been missed. Surely if the proper testing was done this would have been noticed earlier. Other problems in the house include ELV lights throughout do not have juntion boxes but instead have strip connectors just lying in the ceilings. Smoke alarm circuit wired in FP200 2 core and earth with the earth used as the link, not as an earth. So i rectified all these problems and tested and all fine now. But my mates sister in law has just moved into one of the other houses and guess what. Same problems again (EVEN THE MISSING SOCKET!!! different room this time
). I have not done anything to rectify her faults yet. The guy that wired these houses is a regesterd NICEIC domestic installer. So would you tell them to check him out and to get him to rectify all faults at his own exspense.
